I created the file on Linux. file -i told me its UTF-8. Don't know about a 
better way to find that out. Then I used scp to copy the file over to 

the OpenBSD machine, to have exactly the same file. Also there
file -i told me its UTF-8. So, I'm pretty sure, its the same file, with 
same contents on both hosts, or otherwise, scp would screw up
the file, which I don't think so.
